A must try if you're remotely near Little Italy or Jean-Talon.

The products they serve like coffees, espresso's & cappuccino's are above average. But I think the overall atmosphere really plays into your tasting experience.

It's a must stop whenever my friends are in town, a great place to start your day or mid morning.

Last time I tried the sandwich without any expectations & it was great. The bread is toasted giving it a hard toasted outside but until you bite into it you feel the fluffy flavourful dough. The ingredients they use are fresh & top notch quality. The sandwich is nothing crazy but its simplicity & ratio of ingredients make it one of my favourite sandwich's I've had.

Spremuta, pas fraîchement pressée comme avant 😞 pas bon,
Panettone pas frais : sec : donc pas bon, coupé d'avance, j'ai vu un sac où ils sont tous coupés d'avance donc ils sèchent : déception ☹?
Très décevant comparativement à quand Giuseppe & Gino lavorano li 🤩💖

Svp redresser le tir pour l'amour de la qualité

Per che sia più italiano o come in Italia per favore

🍀
